This will be my final Raw. I'm not making the move to Netflix. I hope Dakota Kai wins her match.

I can’t believe this is the last Raw on USA. I’ve legit been watching it on USA at 8pm for 20 years. Feels bad man.

For me, two years. I don't trust Netflix, so this is the final Raw for me.

I was too young the first time they left USA in like 99 or 2000, but I remember the homecoming in 2005 bc they plugged it as such a big deal so really feels like an end of an era

Trust it in what way?

I started watching WWE in general in 2006 so I don’t remember them ever leaving and coming back. I started watching on USA and USA alone so this is bizarre for me.

Yeah I made a TikTok earlier talking about how it’s been a staple of tv since 1993, talked about when it moved networks and moved back, and everything. It’s crazy.

I don't trust Netflix due to having bad experiences back when they were a DVD rental company. I never trusted Netflix for their streaming either. Their streaming are crap because I live out in the countryside. Netflix has always had a bad rap for me. I honestly hope that the WWE PPVs stay on Peacock.

I sometimes forget how young you are lol. I remember watching Raw for so damn long. I remember when it moved to TNN, before it later was SpikeTV. Then the move back. But I’ve always watched it on tv

I have memories of the TNN to Spike switch but I remember when they were moving back to the USA network it was just a new channel for me lol not like I watched Monk or anything, so I didn't even realize it was an improvement

I still wouldn't get Netflix just for Raw if you have spotty Internet but I will say, it actually ran better for me than a lot the others when I lived in a rural area. Mostly because it would actually properly downgrade the streaming quality BEFORE the buffering would start instead of after like all the others lol

I vaguely remember when they left USA Network the first time for Spike TV. It’s crazy that it’s been about 20 years since their return to USA and now they’re leaving again.
